my dad owns a 2008 BMW R1200RT motorcycle and he hats the electronic controlled fuse system. If you over load the circuit that it is programed for than it shut power off to it BMW calls it cambus. So he wanted to be able to add whatever he wanted to the bike without worrying about that. So I installed an aftermarket fuse block that has both switched power and constant ones as well. Enjoy the pics!
